Creating custom URI scheme using URI class

I need to create a custom URI scheme for my project. i.e

urn:myprotocol:{p1}:{p2}:{p3}:{p4} - opaque representation

myprotocol://{p1}/{p2}/{p3}/{p4} - hierarchical representation.

How can I add my scheme to Java URI class? Or, how can I make Java URI to understand my scheme, so I could use it in my code?

Concrete examples are welcome.

Solution

  • Are you sure you need to create a new URI scheme?

    It's considered bad practice to create implementation-specific schemes.
